Description

Photograph copied from Carl Eytel of Palm Canyon near Palm Springs, ca.1898. The canyon is, as its name suggests, full of palm trees, with a variety of other, shorter trees mixed in. The canyon is flanked by two rocky hills, both of which have sparse vegetation; the one on the right is almost solid rock at the top. There is a ridge running between the two peaks, with what appear to be more palm trees along the crest. There is a mountain behind the hill on the right.
